To turn off cellular data for Uber on an iPhone, tap the "Settings" icon → Tap "Cellular" → Tap the toggle switch next to "Uber." Note: You will need to be connected to a Wi-Fi network in order to use Uber without cellular data.

Steps

1

Open your iPhone's settings. It's an app showing gray cogs that can be found on one of your home screens.

2

Tap Cellular.

On British iPhones, this button is called Mobile Data.

3

Scroll down to the "Uber" app. It's located on the list under "USE CELLULAR DATA FOR."

4

Slide the Uber button to the off position. Doing so will turn off cellular data for Uber.

If cellular data is turned off, you will only be able to use Uber when connected to a Wi-Fi network.

Tips

If you want to request a ride with cellular data turned off, request the ride while connected to a Wi-Fi network, then disconnect from the network and head to your pickup spot once you know your ride is arriving.

It's a good idea to screenshot or take note of your ride's description since you won't be able to look at it once you disconnect from the Wi-Fi network.
